Inbal Pezaro


This past week Haaretz news paper put out an article about 66 amazing Israeli woman everyone should know! This week one of our blog had to be about one of these woman.  I chose Inbal Pezaro. Inbal was born in Israel on kibbutz Yizrael. She was born with a rare blood disorder causing her too be paralyzed in her lower limbs. At the age of 5 she started swimming and at the age of 12 was already a competitive swimmer. Inbal took part in both the 2004 and 2008 summer Paralympics for swimming. She scored a silver medal on the opening day in the 2008 Beijing Paralympics. Inbal set a new record for Israel with her amazing speed! The Israel Paralympics committee named her their sportswoman of 2013 after winning the international Paralympics  world champions in Montreal! Inbal is truly an inspiration for all, teaching everyone to stay motivated and continue to try when things are tough!
